Hey all -- Ive been using my MK3 inside Cubase 12 for years and Im quite good at integration and management, and today I have decided to broaden my horizons and try out Bitwig!
Ive spent about 2 hours watching videos and reading documentation, and I have most NI software (plugins, fx, libraries) installed and working fine. Ive already gotten started with Bitwig and have a simple little track, and it is playing well with my synths right now. I can record and playback MIDI from all other instruments.
A problem I'm having is the routing between Bitwig <---> Maschine2. I have followed every tutorial and watched every video, and I simply cannot record MIDI notes into Bitwig, into the arranger or a clip.
-I can draw notes on the arranger and they play back. I can trigger notes from the Bitwig piano roll and I hear sounds. I cannot record notes into the arranger by hitting piano roll keys during record mode.
-I can hit pads on my MK3 and hear sounds, see activity on Bitwig meters. I do not see MIDI note activity, only audio.
Ive done all the normal routing tricks that work in Cubase, including ensuring the "sounds to MIDI notes" config on my maschine2 group. When I configure my drum kit normally (manual mode), I hear no sounds. I have to be in "drumkit mode" to hear any sounds at all, no matter what midi channels or routing options I choose.
Ive gone to the Bitwig site and clicked on specific "routing instructions for NI MK3", but they have not been specific at all, to do with routing. Everything is already routed in these videos. Does anyone have a good guide for this? I searched this site quite a bit but did not find anything. Thanks!
